Creating a non-stopable intro [CLOSED]

[YeOlde_Monk]

I've been doing my game until I stuck at point of intro (or whatever it's called). Another words, I've wanted to do a black screen, then appearing text says "Chapter 1", then underneath it another text "Name-of-a-chapter", and it should have disappered together. I tried a lot of ways to manage the problem, but I just don't have enough knowledge to make this "intro". Maybe there should be a python code which can make auto-read or something to go to the next string. Anyway, this is what I've done (and, of course, it's still not working):

Code: Select all

    scene black with dissolve
    centered "{b}{size=+12}Chapter 1{/size}{/b}" with Dissolve(2.0)
    scene black with dissolve
    centered "{b}{size=+12}Fail after fail{/size}{/b}" with Dissolve(2.0)
    scene black with dissolve

Ideally, it should look like this: an intro to every mission of Mafia II (for example).
If anyone can help me, I'd be very appreciated and be sure - if you do - you'll get to the credits of my game (if ever completed) with best regards.
Not much, I know, but the best I can is to say Thank You as "loud" as I can.

You can try this:

Code: Select all

image chap1_title:
    Text("{b}{size=+12}Chapter 1{/size}{/b}")
    xalign .5 yalign .45
image chap1_subtitle:
    Text("{b}{size=+12}Fail after fail{/size}{/b}")
    xalign .5 yalign .55

# The game starts here.
label start:

    scene black with None
    show chap1_title with Dissolve(2.0)
    show chap1_subtitle with Dissolve(2.0)
    hide chap1_title
    hide chap1_subtitle
    with Dissolve(2.0)

This code uses the Text() class to create a displayable that is not an image, but a text, that is displayed as images are.

A different issue is to prevent the user to stop the intro by clicking (as the title of your post suggest...).

Holy ****! You are genious indeed!!!! Many thanks to you!! ^___^

Can I do something like "block clicking for [few] seconds" or something? Like turning off the rollback?

You can use a hard pause, BUT this is very user-unfriendly:

Code: Select all

$ renpy.pause(2.0, hard=True)

Some of your players maybe don't want to wait, or are re-playing and the hard-pauses become annoying...

Yeah, that makes sense.
